Worm Gear Reducer Advantages

1. The worm gear Gear box reducer can get a large equipment ratio, and the bigger output torque is more compact compared to the staggered axle gear mechanism.

2. The two teeth of the worm gear are in line contact, and the bearing capacity is much higher than that of the crossed helical gear mechanism.

3. The worm equipment reducer transmission is the same as the screw travel, which really is a multi-tooth mesh get, so the transmission is steady and the noise is very small.

4. The worm equipment reducer has self-locking property. When the lead angle of the worm is usually smaller than the equivalent friction angle between the meshing teeth, the mechanism has self-locking home, and the reverse self-locking can be realized, that’s, the worm steering wheel can only be powered by the worm, and the worm can’t be driven by the worm wheel. For instance, in the self-locking worm system used in its large machinery, the reverse self-locking house can serve as a basic safety protection.

5. The worm equipment reducer has high transmitting efficiency and severe wear. However, the relative sliding quickness is large, causing severe use on the tooth surface and serious heat generation. In order to dissipate warmth and reduce wear, materials with better anti-friction and anti-wear properties and good lubrication devices are often used, so the cost is high.

6. The axial power of the reducer worm is usually large, and the anti-lock bearing is usually installed on the worm shaft of our factory.
